Jalapeno Sausage Patties

Jalapeno Sausage Patties 1 lb ground pork 1 jalapeño pepper (half seeds removed) – roughly chopped 1 small onion – roughly chopped 2 small celery stalks – roughly chopped 1 tsp minced garlic 1 tsp paprika 3/4 tsp ground thyme 1 1/2 tsp fennel seed 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper 1 tsp chili powder 1/2 tsp red chili flakes Combine vegetables and spices in food processor until finely chopped and well blended. Add in ground pork and mix until combined. Form pork mixture into small patties (about 2 inches) – makes 13-15 patties. Heat a skillet to medium heat with cooking fat (I used bacon fat, but you could use any other cooking fat). Cook the sausage patties for approximately 3 minutes per side. You want to make sure that the middle of the sausage patty is no longer pink.
